PAW Book Club: Lauren Ling Brown ‘12 Sets a Thriller at a Princeton Eating Club

from Princeton Alumni Weekly Podcasts · host Princeton Alumni Weekly

On this episode of the PAW Book Club podcast, we talk with Lauren Ling Brown ’12 about Society of Lies, her bestselling novel set almost entirely on Princeton’s campus. It follows the stories of two sisters, one of whom is murdered during Reunions Weekend. The story is entirely fictional, but much within it — including the eating club and secret society conjured by Lauren — sometimes look a lot like the real Princeton. Our book club members wanted to know: How much of this book was based on imagination and how much on more?
